From the first thread
French Naval WW2 aircraft



And the 1950's designs which were never put into service

Nakajima G8N1 Renzan

So here is my updated (I don't finish) of Sea king Canadian (And is a basis for others versions or for differents countries):



Thanks for your comments and greetings (in PB Thread). ;)

Last update for my Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow :

The canopy is fixed to Shipbucket requirment.

Some redone:

See discussion thread for details

Here is the Official Soviet Aircraft chart.
"Official" in the way that these planes I found out to be worth of uploading.
(note that I've tried to present them all in uniform grey and I've had to do some shading of some of the older stuff)




EDIT: Also, I noticed some post here that had too much smilies (There have been rather clear instructions to all of you of what me and Colosseum think of posting several smileys in row) Thus I deleted all those post

Final update for my E-2C (I think):

Updated Soviet aircraft chart:
(Mil Mi-26 added)

I spend some time drawing the 3-view of the Tigre HAP helicopter and few minutes to draw the future variant of the Panther/Dolfin with its FASGW/ANL missiles, so I decide to put together as many French Navy aircrafts on the same sheet.

Only the aircrafts able to operate from french ships will be on this sheet. Have to add E-2C and Super Etendard as soon as possible.

*Wrong post place, please mods delete*

Redrawn the French Aircraft sheet. I had some other planes I found on sheets drawn by other members and modified them with French delivery. I also improved some of the designs, just for fun! :D

I tried to represent all of the aircrafts in their most recent camo, and these are only the modern aircrafts currently in operation or development. So we have Lynx, Gazelle, UAV, Super Frelon, Tigre, Caracal, NH-90, E-2C, Atl2 and Rafale for the moment.

Pollux, you may be interested by this top view of a F-8 Crusader:

Here is my E-2C of French Navy (Just profiles for Pollux Delta Seven):

PolluxDeltaSeven, sorry, but i have designed NH90 some months ago:

And here's a top view of it I made some times ago... <_<

Pollux: you may find this useful, an attempt to draw a top view of the Super-frelon. I'm afraid the dimensions are to be checked again, but this may make a good starting point... ;)

I complete the sheet for the last time (I suppose).

I add the top views of the Super Frelon, the Rafale and the Panther. I also update the Lynx and the E-2C.

Thanks Merlock, Little Bird and Paul for their drawings.


I EDIT my drawing, adding some top and side views of the SUper Frelon and Panther helicopters

A little remake for my LPH

MiG-25 Foxbat WIP

For the IJN submarines

The Planebucket project has become so large and all-encompassing, I do not know if this aircraft has been done. I chose it to be the primary fighter of the Buxtahatche Confederation in the 1970/1980 timeframe. It's done here in it's proper OTL Swedish Air Force colors.

Saab 29

Two versions of my Boeing 707. The top is the original (windows close together, which roughly mirrors the real distance between the windows), and the lower one which is closer to the norm for Planebucket airliners (18" between the windows)

The Yak-15 (suitable for the Yak-17 as well) and Yak-23 are next on my list of 'to do's that got done.' They are some doggone small planes, but hold a strange 'practical beauty' in my mind.

Very few SAAB (or none) has been shipbucketed. I tried but they where no good.

I did Draken and I was planning to do Viggen, but my plane-enthustiasm dropped before I managed to try it.

I love the 'Tunnan'. I beleive it was the first European swept wing fighter, benefitting from German swept wing research (via Switzerland). It took the U.K. too long to get the Hunter in production, and no 'intermediate' design was developed. And Saab went from strength to strength: Lansen, the Draken - the last (IMHO) great Saab design; if it wasn't for neutrality the Draken would have been a world beater, just put it against the English Electric Lightning, twice the plain on half the engines!!

Remember what Colosseum said.....: Comments here

Hoping to see some updates in the Parts sheets in the main site, and for that I'm adding recent aircraft

Japanese submarine aircraft



Potez 56E



AFAIK only one was built and in 1936 was the first aircraft to perform a task which is so associated with carrier operations. I mean COD (Carrier On-board Delivery).
The plane had landed on the Bearn delivered some passengers and took off.

russian ekranoplan: the alekseyev A 90 orlyonok. I will make the other livery soon too ( with the blue stripes)

Navalized YF-23
